I loved my 250L. Over 5 years I had a custom shock built for it, fork properly sprung and valved for my rocky terrain, a bunch of other changes just cause I could. Rode it to work and ran it in proper enduro tracks. Used it as a proper dual sport you could say. That all came to an end last October when some bastard stole it! Miss that thing.

Once you do some mods and let the engine breath it's an awesome bike.

Great video! 13T sprocket will wear down the chain guard, if you listen closely you can hear it. and give the chain guard a check to see if there is a track wearing into the guard.

Last spring I went looking for a new on/off road bike because it started getting tough to get my almost 60 year old leg over the sky high seat of my KTM 640 I had. So I went looking for a bike with lower seat height. I don't really care about power anymore I just wanted something I could ride around town on and take off-road when I wanted. I visited my local all in one cycle dealer, I think they were selling almost every make made. Anyway they had a brand new unsold 2017 DR 200s on clearance for $2900 and at that price I had to buy it. I use to have a 1988 SP 200 so I'm very familiar with the DR because it's nearly identical to the SP. Now the DR isn't fast and doesn't have great suspension but if it's like my old 88 SP it should be very reliable.

For that price, the DR200 is unbeatable. I'm considering all options with my first dual sport. Are you happy with the DR??

Those are nice looking bikes and I have considering buying one new. But as a comparison for power output, I have a '99 XR250R that's been jetted, opened up airbox, and an FMF powercore 4 pipe, and the power is quite good, around 22hp or so. But of course the XR only weighs around 236, and stock gearing is considerably lower with a close ratio 6-speed and 13/48 final drive. The result is very snappy power and decently strong acceleration. I know I can't expect that from a CRF250L, but, the CRF is street legal which really is a great thing!

I have one, too ... so good to see an honest summary with accurate facts. Good job, enjoyed the video. Do you have an opinion on performance if you did all the mods except no EJK fuel controller? Also, did you collect any MPG data from before/after the EJK.

Tarzan Boy The exhaust made the biggest difference of everything by far that stock one is very choked off. Plus it sounds 1000% better

I bought it because it was cheap but I was not really happy with it. I have owed a XL600, DRZ400 and XL650R before so I was familiar with dual sports but I found the bike pretty underwhelming overall. I think I would have been happier with another XRL or a converted dirt bike. It is a fine bike but it was not for me.

How about slicks (or street legal track tires) & turn it into a supermoto?

Do you need the programmer with the Q 4? I need a new can, the previous owner took the innerds out of it. Does it have a spark arrestor?
@TheMotocrossVault

It does have a spark arrestor. It makes a bid difference if you open up the airbox and get the programmer but you could certainly run it without the programmer it might just be a bit lean.

Wondering what you would recommend for a older moto guy? Looking for something For fun vet off-road racers We can’t convert bikes to street in Canada I love my Crf250x Basically need you to tell me to spend the money I don’t have on 450L 😋 Was considering wr250r or this crf250l

I had a DRZ400S and the later ones with the dirt version’s suspension are great do it all bikes. I liked it way better than this CRF. If you want something newer the WR250 is a way better dirt bike than this CRF
